If this is happening for you on XP and with Money 2006, then either this is
a completely different issue or it turns out not to be specific to Vista
and/or Money 2007

Are you using some new/updated security software or changed some settings
within IE or XP.
What else is running on your computer?
Any indications of problems with Money when this happens? For example it is
hung (not responding), doesn't appear to completely close ("Money is already
running" if you try to restart Money, backup behavior is different (you
postponed or didn't postpone this time), etc

I see precisely the same problem! I can open the .tmp file that it creates,
but I usually "restore from backup" with the most recent backup Money makes.
That file seems fine. This happens about every 3 - 5 closures of MS Money.
I never hibernate my machine and I run XP Pro / MS Money 2006. My Money file
is saved locally in "my documents". I have been using this for about 2 years
with no problems until recently. Nothing has changed recently. Could the
Money file be growing too large?? Does anyone have any ideas??

~ofB42.temp and ~ofC1C.tmp are the names of the two files I had recognised
and tested. Other files were deleted earlier as I didn't know where they
came from. They are also in the same folder as the Money file would be.

Yes

Standard place picked by Money on the install

No. All accesses to Money are thru the link in the quick-launch, unless the
password problem or file missing messages appear.

I haven't as yet been able to determine ANY pattern, including whether
hibernation is even involved. The possibility of hibernation being involved
is only because I have only recently begun using it during the day and the
missing files (left as tmp) has started since then and had worked for 3
months with no such problem before that.

Not sure

Nod32 A/V, Windows defender. Ran tests with Avast, AVG, and
Spybot + one other I don't remember to confirm results.

Just to clarify:

1. Is your Money file in the Documents folder under your Vista User account
or some other folder labled "Documents"? In other words: Is it in
C:\Users\<User Name> \Documents?
2. Is it on the main hard drive (i.e. C:\) or is it on some other drive?
Anything else non standard about the location of your Money file?
3. Since you also reported problems with occassionally getting told you have
the wrong password is there a change in how you are accessing the file
between attempts (for example, signing into Vista under a different User)?
4. Since you mentioned "certain conditions when going int hibernation", what
are those conditions?
5. Does it only occur after going into and recovering from hibernation?
6. What other security/AV/anti-spyware programs are you running?

Occasionally my Money file disappears. On looking in the Documents folder I
find that I have a .tmp file that is in fact the Money file. Opens with
Money, has all the updates etc. I am using Vista64 and Money 2007. Several
virus and spyware programs confirm no problems on that front. I suspect
that it is related to certain conditions when going into hibernation.
Wondering if any others have had a similar experience. The backup files are
not affected.
